No, that's the last thing people want, even for non-western languages.
It's only when english are marked incorrectly that non-english people
start to wipe it out and hardcode their own translation. I mean
hypothetical situation like:

<?php echo '%d' . __('Response') . ' ' . __('by') . ' ' . '%s' ?>

This kind of chopping makes most non-english translation impossible.
Avoid this and people would be more than happy.

be able to wipe out the gettext strings just as easy as simply translating
the bits we have already translated. Actually, it would probably be a lot
easier to pinpoint the strings in need of translation if they are marked by
__e's etc.

I say, leave it to the translation team to decide whether their users would
be able to insert new functions in a gettexted theme or not.
